Posted by craftnetworktv in art journal, inspiration on August 6, 2011

Back in March I attended the Donna Downey workshop – Inspiration Journal. It was a great class .. heaps of fun ideas!!

Some of these pages aren’t finished yet … but I love that! I can come back another day and some more layers!

This page was started with a magazine image …

new inspiration …

I’ve been following Pam Carriker for a while and I always find her work so inspiring … so when her book “Art at the Speed of Life” came out … I had to have a copy!

Only a short way into the book I stopped to create an art journal .. the instructions were easy to follow and I had all the ingredients – denim, watercolour paper, a button and some string.. it was so much fun ..

That same day I had to make a notebook – this time in pink – a gift for a 10 year old girl … so pretty!!

And so a new obsession began ..

gifts from the heart …

Posted by craftnetworktv in art journal on April 9, 2011

My friend Erin surprised me recently with some very thoughtful gifts … and they made me smile!!

The first was a new art journal … something I really needed … and Erin incorporated my recent challenge to use her big butterfly stamp … I love the results!!

And a set of blank babushka dolls … given my new obsession with drawing little faces … it’s the perfect gift and I can’t wait to play with them!!

Thank you so much Erin … I really love our friendship!!

I found that I had one more page left in my art journal .. the background was already done and I “needed” to do something. Flowers make me so happy and so does this page!

art journal – day 25

Posted by craftnetworktv in art journal on January 25, 2011

This is actually the last page in my journal … one day while watching the kids play outside I sketched some flowers … so I decided today to work with those drawings and add some doodling around them. I really like the end result.
